Best Priced Renovated 3BR 3BTH w/Doorman in Prime Lincoln Square

Remarkable Rambling Residence On the Tree-Line

Above you are ceilings soaring to nearly 12 feet, underfoot are beautiful hardwood floors, and everywhere you look is beauty. Fully renovated back to the studs, and mindfully reinvented for the 21st Century, this 1903 classic is the ideal mix of fine form and modern function. The handsome and practical result is a timeless home that is well suited for all of today's growing needs.

Right by every coveted convenience of Lincoln Square — right through the attended lobby — right up the elevator — and right into this memorable home, you enter a prewar oasis. Here is your hidden heaven — a fine, feel-good residence close to the best area cultural, shopping, and dining destinations — yet wonderfully removed -- peaceful and lovely. Coming home to this big beauty is the ideal recharge — and you may not want to leave.

The welcoming foyer is this hub of this happy home. From this gracious core, all of the well-scaled rooms flow elegantly. The large living room is a corner affair with a stunning decorative fireplace, big windows, marvelous moldings, and room for dining. The kitchen is pretty and immensely practical, offering top-shelf appliances, ample cabinets and stone counters. With an ideal scale and a perfect position by its just-open-enough kitchen, easy living and comfortable entertaining are front and center.

All three bedrooms are smartly separate from one another, allowing you and yours to be alone together with gracious privacy. The king-sized primary bedroom is a corner suite with dual exposures on the tree-line (cross breezes, anyone?) and the super-high ceilings that are one of the hallmark's of this easy-to-love home. Served by a wall of designer closets, and a beautiful en suite, marble windowed bath, this suite is a resplendent retreat. The two guest bedrooms are sizable and quiet, one with an en suite marble bath, and the other served by a designer hall bath. An in-home washer/dryer and good closet space round out the easy-to-live vibe that permeates this winsome home.

Sweetly positioned in the bright Southeastern and Southwestern corners of its historical building, this happy home is a fully upgraded residential treasure. Enjoying the full-services of its well run, financially fit building's round the clock staff and resident superintendent, life here is easy, comfortable, and fun. Just beyond the lobby is supreme access to Central Park, Lincoln Center, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, the Beacon Theatre, the 1-2-3 and B-C trains, the shops at Columbus Circle, and every brag-gable Upper Westside destination. Here, pied-a-terres, pets, gifting and guarantors are welcome (case by case), and a generous sublet policy provides for flexible ownership.

Here, 1903 melds marvelously with the 21st Century -- convenience meets beauty -- and your next home awaits you.
